tl;dr The new Evil Dead movie isn't actually a remake, it's a different set of people that found the cabin. In the coming years we will see sequels to the new Evil Dead movie, as well as a proper follow up to Army of Darkness. The series will come to a grand finale in Evil Dead 7 where both storylines cross over.

I want to think this is an early April Fool's joke. I'm definitely excited for the Army of Darkness sequel but the rest sounds ridiculous.

of course it's an April Fools joke considering Sam Raimi and Bruce Campbell, both who are heavily involved in the remake, have said it's a remake. Sam Raimi was thought to be making Evil Dead 3 next, but it turns out it will be Army of Darkness 2 with Bruce Campbell as Ash.

In any event...

a) April Fool's joke? Maybe. But it's not fucking April yet. Keep that in mind.

b) Thinking outside the box? Yes. Mr. Raimi tends to do that.

c) Legit or not, I'm behind this simply due to the fact that it's an unheard of plot device. Come at me, bro.

Another thing I'd like to point out is that Evil Dead hits North American theaters this coming week. Which doesn't take away from the possibility that this is an April Fool's joke, but it DOES make it all the more likely that this is the perfect time to reveal such information if, in fact, it WERE legit.
